Never one to shy away from provocation, Hans Eysenck is often regarded as an iconoclast in the field of psychotherapy. In 1952, he penned a very controversial paper in which he famously argued that psychoanalytic psychotherapy had not been shown to be more effective in facilitating recovery from "neurotic disorder than no treatment at all." He faced further ire from psychoanalysts when he introduced behavior therapy at the Royal Psychomedical Association in 1959. In this interview, Eysenck makes a compelling case for these groundbreaking ideas, and exemplifies his ability to be an intrepid agent of change against the dogmatic elements of the field. In conversation with Dr. Philip Kendall, Eysenck shares his frank assessment on the modern developments in psychotherapy. Taking issue with integrative approaches to psychotherapy, Eysenck suggests that due to the theories' divergent ideas on the origin of pathology, they are irreconcilable in practice. With specific regard to cognitive-behavioral therapy, Eysenck offers the paradoxical view that "cognitive behavior therapy, it's either an oxymoron--they're different things, they don't really mean the same--or it's a redundancy," explaining that even early behaviorism took cognition into account. He adds that so far the combination of cognitive and behavioral therapy has not been shown to be superior to behavior therapy alone. Expressing concern that psychotherapists do not keep up with advances in the science of the field, he proposes changes in the way research is conducted and disseminated. Eysenck's careful consideration and irreverent manner lead to appraisals of the field that are at once deeply thought provoking, and impossible to ignore.

Harm Reduction Therapy is an innovative approach that focuses on reducing the harmful consequences of drug use. The therapist accepts the client on his or her own terms and tries to reduce barriers to treatment. In this video, Dr. G. Alan Marlatt, an expert on harm reduction and relapse prevention, works with an African-American client who is addicted to heroin and considering entry into a methadone program. Jon Carlson and Judy Lewis introduce Dr. Marlatt, and facilitate an in-depth discussion of the further impact and uses of the model.

This is a rare opportunity to watch the therapist who developed and popularized genograms demonstrate how to actually create and utilize them in a therapy session. In this video, you will see Monica McGoldrick in action as she masterfully conducts an initial interview with a new client, demonstrating the step-by-step process of gathering historical information, creating the genogram, and contextualizing the client's presenting problem within a multigenerational family systems framework. John is a 39-year-old African-American graphic designer who is having marital problems. Mystified and distressed by his pattern of distancing from his wife who is six months pregnant, he desperately wants to understand why he is pulling away. McGoldrick's focused interest in John's family story gently guides him in a thorough investigation of the social and historical context of his current struggles. With McGoldrick as an ally, John makes fascinating discoveries as he uncovers surprising coincidences, poignant tragedies and inspiring sources of resilience. Watching McGoldrick engage a client in exploring the connection between his presenting problem and his family-of-origin issues is a treat in and of itself, but a bonus feature of this video is following McGoldrick's step-by-step creation of John's genogram on the spot. It makes for a compelling and highly educational experience. By watching this video, you will learn how to: utilize the genogram to place clients' presenting problems in a historical and social context; respond when a client resists exploring family issues; explain to clients why exploring family background is relevant.

"Relationship is the context in which you get healed, and we think couplehood is the most powerful source of healing there is." - Harville Hendrix, PhD. Moving away from individual psychology, Harville Hendrix asserts that because we are wounded in relationships, it is ultimately through relationships that we must heal and grow. Relationships often begin full of hope of healing these wounds, but everyday we see couples in our offices, trapped in painful conflicts, unwittingly re-injuring each other. Hendrix introduces a dialogue process that engages couples in mutual empathy and genuine curiosity, discusses 'the defense against love' and other relational challenges, tells us how his therapy model saved his own marriage, and explains the biggest mistake couples therapists make.

Psychodrama recreates powerful relational dynamics from the past to bring about cathartic change in the present. Trauma from child abuse remains trapped inside us and continues to threaten our feelings of safety and wellbeing through adulthood. Psychodrama allows us to safely reinhabit the body at the point of past abuse and make sense of the experience from an adult perspective. In this video, Bob fears that he is passing on the legacy of abuse from his stepfather to his four-year-old granddaughter.

In so doing, Tian helps Bob release hidden emotions, say the things he never got to as a child, and create new meaning around his past and current relationships.

Feeling limited by her own cultural upbringing, filmmaker Dr. Michelle Peticolas, seeks a more open and creative approach to the loss of her parents. With San Francisco's Day of the Dead as backdrop, she shares the stories of four people who inspire her: Dan, a no-nonsense guy who gets caught up in the mystery of his wife's dying; Marcia, a spiritually-guided newly-wed and widow; Gladys, the compassionate church-friend of an HIV positive man; and Geoff, an only-son coping with the double loss of his mother to cancer and his father to suicide. From diagnosis to death to mourning, the film explores the heart and soul of grief."--Container.

In this involving session, Harry Aponte helps a family look un-defensively at the things that are not working in their relationships. The family originally comes into therapy seeking help for their ten-year-old son who has been caught stealing. Aponte asks about the family's complicated situation insightfully, understanding each relationship, and each individual's role. Soon Aponte shifts the focus from the children to the center of the family--Rosalind and Carl, the parent couple. Once he understands the family structure, including each of the children's cut-off relationships with their "missing" biological parent, Aponte identifies that the parents are not coming together enough to discuss their family and the decisions that matter. In an almost deceptively informal manner, Aponte helps the strong-willed parents key in on their tendency to live separate, self-controlled lives in the same house. As the distance is identified, it starts to close, and the parents have an action they can take to make things go better--they can get together to talk about their family. "You are both very strong people," he says at one point, "As difficult as it is now to get together, I think you'll be that much better parents if you can talk. I think you'll be very effective parents to these kids. And they need a strong set of parents." Both parents nod and agree. The task is thus identified and put before them; though not easy, it is a realistic goal. In a follow-up discussion with the referring therapist, Aponte stresses that the therapist the family continues to work with must gain their trust--especially that of the father, Carl. He advises that the therapist must truly join with them or be left on the outside--ultimately ineffective. Aponte reveals that after the session was over, Rosalind (wife and mother) told him that she was "shocked" at how much her normally silent husband spoke in the session. Aponte clearly won Carl's confidence and trust; a very moving thing to see unfold in a short time.
